To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
Not deception or illusion, but the shining-forth [*Scheinen*] of essence. Essence must shine forth — there is nothing behind the semblance; rather, essence is the movement of shining-forth itself.
Origin: Traditionally: semblance vs. being (semblance deceives). In Hegel: semblance as the necessary expression of essence.
In Hegel: Enz. §112–114; *Science of Logic*, Vol. 2, Essence
